I can't remember my Yahoo login, I may have had one a decade ago. I don't really buy their excuse that removing social login helps in any way. As a developer, with social login, I have a username to link everything to just as much as normal server login. You can still have user records in your DB keyed on that, a settings page on your site that stores settings against that user, whatever you need. So how does removing social login improve personalization? I don't think it does. Just sounds like an excuse.
